marcelabrina's review against another edition

This is the textbook for my terrifically useless Feminism 101 indoctrination masquerading as an online Women and Literature class. I would much rather read entire books by women authors rather than trying to explicate whether a two-paragraph section of A Room of One's Own is constructivist or essentialist feminist literature. While I'm all for discovering new women writers, this book--at over 5lbs of 1,000 rice-paper-thin pages--is overwhelming and lacks direction. Plus, I hate this class.

I'll never get to read all these poems, but I'll enjoy wandering through all the beauty of a fine example of why I love Norton Anthologies.

I originally bought this anthology for a university course, however I switched off that course and now have it to read in my own time. I already have plenty to read, but I do plan to return to it someday, I think it is a genuine trove of fascinating stories. I primarily read Heart of Darkness, so my content warnings reflect that.

booksandbraids's review against another edition
I had to read bits and pieces of this for an online class I took this summer... So I didn't have high hopes. It didn't go above my expectations, but I didn't want to die while reading it so I guess that is a plus.
I can say this is one of the best textbooks I've ever had to get- I borrowed it from my school library and renewed it three times over the course so I did not have to buy it. Major plus. I did not want to buy a 100 set of books I was never going to touch again.

This volume was actually better than the first- there were a lot of pieces in here that I actually kind of liked. Most of them were at least okay.
